Which plan to pickIf you have Plus already, you are set; its deep research allowance covers most people. Do not buy ChatGPT just for research unless you also want the rest of it, because Perplexity Pro costs less and is faster. Pro is only worth it if you run reports every day.There is only a sales-led contract. Ask for a trial on a live deal or project before you sign, and check which premium data sources are included at your price.
